Kayaking In Greenland

General A. W. Greedy. in the course OF
an article In the Century on some per
sonal experiences gives the following ac-
count Of curious Greenland craft; This
dangerous craft is gradually diving out
in Greenland, and only the brighter and
more ambitious boys acquire it. Prac

had pride and a delight in the art, such
as was unusual in his settlement. For
those who have never seen kaTak will
imperfectly describe it as a shuttle
shaped boat, consisting of wooden
framework, which is fastened together
generally by seal-skin thongs, and
over which is stretched a covering Of
tanned seal-skin as neatly and tightly
as the sheep-skin of a head The
skin covering is so well tanned, and it is
so deity sewn together with sinew thread
by the Eksimo women, that no dropof
water finds its way through skin or seam
The use of seal thong in uniting the
stanchions gives great strength and equal
elasticity, allowing with i1punity great
shocks which otherwise would destroy so
frail structure. The boat is usually
some fifteen feet long. and from its
central point gently curves upward
from width Of twenty and a depth of
ten inches-to pointed ends. Both
PROV and stern are carefully armed with
a thin holding Of walrus ivory, which is
protection to the skin cover when the
hunter, spinning through the water,
strikes small ice, or, in landing. so throws
forward and upward his kayak that beat
and man slide easily and safely up the
edge on TO the level surface of a foe
The only opening is circular hole with
bone or wooden ring, its size being
strictly limited to the circumference Of
the hips of the largest hunter who is to
use it.
A waterproof combination Jacket and
mitten of oil-tanned sealskin is worn by
the hunter, who tightly laces the bottom
to the ring, so that no water can enter
the kayak. Thus equipped, the Innuit
hunter faces seas which would swamp
any other craft, and plunges safely
through the heaFiest surf. A single oar.

trained hands propels this unbalasted.
unsteady craft with great rapidity. and it
moves through the water at a rate vary
ing from five to ten miles an hour, ac-
cOrding to the character of the sea and
the exigency of the occasion. The oar
properly handled enables an expert to
rise to the surface, if, as happens at
times, the boat is overturned
The kayak of the Eskimo is probably
unsurpassed in ingenuity by the boating
devices of any other savage people of the
globe. Its essential points of lightness,
huoyancy, and structural strength are
marvelously well adapted to ;he varying
and dangerous conditions under which
an Eskimo provider seeks mis- sea game

The Chinese play to-day just as they
did 1000 years ago, says H. E. Krehbiel
The art as it was then has been
petrifed ''by fantastic system of mental
philosophy and an adamantine conserva-
iism." So that in considering the con
dition of the musical art in China to-day
we have an actual sight of what was the
system and practice at the time of Plato.
The refinement in this knowledge of
music is mostly on its metaphysical side.
The Chinese sages could and do publish
doctrine touching music which is golden
doctrine in the art of today, but the
sounds they produce are din in which
traces of order and of melodious sequence
are not discernible except by very
patient and very well trained ear. A
barbarism rests on the music still, and To
add to the many paradoxes which the
Chinese hold before us, they concede that
the art of to-day is a degenerate one,
but speak with pride of one now lost
which fiourished at time when Greece
was yet shrouded in prehistoric gloom,

There are two JOSS houses on Chatham
Square, and even these are now unable
to accommodate the crowds Of thorough
paced heathens that worship in them.
The Chinaman is just as fond Of his
snub nosed gods as before he breathed
the air of Christian New York. There
is now a project under way to build IL
Chatham Square a new joss house that
will surpass anything of the kind in the
country. Wo Kee and other wealthy
Cinnamon are behind it, aud it is certain
TO be a success. 1t will not be built,
however, until next year.
The Chinese of New Yorl; are careful
to give respectable burial to their breth-
rem who die. They own plots in Green
wood. Evergreens and New York Bay
Cemeteries. That in the latter cemetery
is the largest, and cost $3.50. Several
hundred graves in all are to be seen IN
these plots.
Chinatown has no printed newspaper
now. Several years ago Wong Chinn
Foo established the Chinese AHlerieaa,
hut it died, and the experiment has not
been repeated There is, however,
newspaper of an original pattern. i has
no city editor, and the whole of China
town is on its staff Those ancient jour
nalistic chestnuts, ''Veritas,n "0ld Sub
scriber," and others whose chief ambi-
ton is TO lombard newspaper efflces

admire this newspaper, for its columns
are no less than about 125 feet long, and
are open TO all.

Let me tell you about one Of its ingenious

surface of the water is covered with the
weeds, aud the lazy bird floats idly about

that nothing whatever is known of its

Queen Victoria Not Popular.

The queen is not popular. Very few
people know anything about her. I do
no believe that 10 per cent. of the people
of London have ever seen her. She lives
such u retired life that she is rarely taken
into consideration in connection with
public questions. She appears to have
very little sympathy with English people
and to be as foreign at heart as if She
had always lived on the continent. This
is shown whenever she goes over to the
continent for a change. She is quite an
other person when she is over there.
The French people are delighted with
her and the French papers are filed with
glowing %ccoun of her popularity at
Aix-les-Bains When she is on the con-
tinent she goes out and mikes with people
and shows herself everywhere on all pub
lie occasions. But in England she shuts
herself up like a recluse and only with
great difficulty can be persuaded to spend
two or three weeks in London during the
year.-London Cor. New York World.

weather Proverbs. Relating to tn. Moon.

these ARE very numerous. Some per
IONS suppose that the character of the
weather a be foretold by the hour of
the day o night when the changes of
the moon occur. Others think that a
change OF h o on Saturday is al
ways followed by a severe storm, " and
still others say that "a Fridays moon,
come when it will, comes too soon."
Then, again, 1t is said if the points of the
new moon are upward there will be dry
weather; while others take the opposite
nd say if they point sideways it
" dry. But leaving all these and
m.n others like them. there are a few
proverbs about the moon which may be
worth noting and testing. We give som,
of these:
When the moon is visible in the day
time the days are relatively cool.
In western Kansas it is said that whel
the moon is near the full ii never storms,
end the sailors say the full moon eats
clouds.
If the full moon rises clear expect fine
weather.
A large ring around the moon and low
clouds indicate rain in tw~enty-four hours;
a small ring and high clouds rain in sew
eral days.
Last nlSht the moon had a golden n
but tonight nc moon l see.
The larger the halo about the moon the
nearer the rain cloud, and the sooner the
rain may be expected.
When the moon is darkest near the
horizon expect rain.
If the full % rise pale expect
rain.
A red moon indicates wind.
II the moon Is seen between the scud
and broken clouds during a gale it is ex-
pected to scud away the bad weather.
In the old of the moon a cloudy morn
ing bodies a fair afternoon.
If there be a general mist before sun
rise near the full of the moon, the weather
will be fine for some days.
The rising or setting of the moon will
be followed by O decrease of a storm
which is then prevailing.--Boston
Journal.

A year ago Professor Langley, the dis
tinguished American astronomer, per-
formed nn experiment in the theatre Of
the Royal institution to show that the
true color of the sun is blue. He argued
that the atmosphere cut off a large pro-
portion of the blue rays, and that, if the
observer could get beyond it, the sun
would look blue. Capt. Abney, in q
lecture on Sunlight Colors," rejected
this experiment, adopting Prof. Langley's
figures with mathematical accuracy, but
dispensing with his paper disks, which
this lecturer held vitiated the result, and
he showed that the color of the sun was
not blue, but very nearly that of the
white light to be seen at high elevations
in a clear, dust-free atmosphere.-London

During Gen. Grants term as president
of his cabinet officers discovered that
the records of al important branch of
n of The departments had been for two
years written in purple ink. He at once
issued an order forbidding its use in the
department, purchased a new set of
books, into which two years records
were copied, and thus saved what in a
few years would otherwise have been
lost. 1t is n of the problems of chem
istry to find something which will make
permanent the beautiful aniline colors,
but thus far all efforts have failed. 1t is
growing more and more the custom to
have deeds, contracts and valuable docu-
ments printed on a typewriter in aniline
ink. This is a great mistake, because in
a few years they are sure to be obliter-
ated.-The Argonaut.
